Within the framework of the "City-Hub" European research project numerous interchanges have been studied in nine countries in Europe. We examine their role in local, regional, national or international transport networks. This article seeks to show the links between transport policies aiming at developing interchanges and urban policies creating development around these stations. We show that urban changes can occur in the context of integrated transport and land planning linking commercial development, new business offices and new housing. ; Dans le cadre d'un projet de recherche européen " City-Hub " de nombreux pôles d'échanges ont été analysés dans neuf pays en Europe. Nous examinons leur rôle dans les réseaux locaux, régionaux, nationaux voire internationaux de transport. Cet article cherche à montrer les liens entre les politiques de transport visant à développer ces grands pôles d'échanges et les politiques urbaines de développement autour de ces stations. Nous montrons que cette transformation urbaine peut se réaliser par une planification intégrée de l'amélioration des fonctions de transport avec celles liées au développement commercial, à l'implantation de nouveaux bureaux et de nouveaux logements.

Objective: Gauge the sound pressure and temperature levels emitted by the equipment of the drying and sterilization rooms of the Material and Sterilization Center and compare them with the current legislation. Method: It is an experimental study with a quantitative approach, implemented in a school hospital in Joao Pessoa-PB. The data were obtained by a sound pressure meter and a thermal stress meter in September 2016. Results and Discussion: The data evidenced high sound pressure levels, reaching a mean of 71.25 and 76.25 dB (A), in the drying and sterilization rooms respectively. The levels found do not exceed that recommended by NR15 (Regulatory Norm 15) which is 85dB(A), but NBR 10152/87 (Brazilian Norm 10152/87) indicates levels between 45 and 55 dB(A) for acoustic well-being. As for the temperature the measured mean ranged between 24.91 and 25.87 °C. Conclusion: The levels of sound pressure and temperatures found in the environment can cause physiopsychological changes in the professionals that works in this services. Keywords: Sound pressure; Temperature; Material and Sterilization Center

AbstractAlthough there is ample evidence on the importance of experiencing autonomy and belonging for positive adolescent development and the supporting role of parents in this regard, most knowledge stems from intact families. As many youth grow up with divorced parents, this study tested longitudinal links between warm and autonomy supportive parenting and coparental cooperation and conflict on the one hand, and adolescents' post-divorce autonomy and belonging on the other. Data consisted of three-wave self-report data of 191 Dutch adolescents (Mage = 14.36, 61.3% girls) and 227 divorced parents (Mage = 46.08, 74% mothers). Random-intercept cross-lagged panel models showed stable between-family differences, with autonomy relating positively to coparenting and parental autonomy support, and belongingness associating positively solely with parenting. No significant effects were found within families, meaning that changes in (co)parental behaviors did not predict adolescents' experiences of autonomy and belonging or vice versa.

This book analyzes the factors behind the recent expansion of Fairtrade and questions whether the trust given to the scheme by "ethical" shoppers is warranted. It goes about this assessment by analyzing the claim of ethical shopping and by scrutinizing the specific contribution of the Fairtrade Certification Mark to producer's welfare. This assessment is based on information gathered in a mixture of desk-based research and fieldwork carried out in Argentina, Bolivia, Chile, Peru, Tanzania and South Africa. This book comprises separate chapters written by academics of various backgrounds, who h.

In the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries, the Murman coast trade and the Northern Dvina trade were two clearly distinct branches of Western European commerce. The Murman coast trade involved the commerce with the regional economy of the Kola Peninsula, and the Northern Dvina trade coincided with the transit trade with the Russian interior. In the 1550s, the English established commercial relations with interior Russia via the mouth of the Northern Dvina, mainly exchanging woolen cloth and metals for north and central Russian forestry and agriculture products. In the 1570s, the Dutch followed suit, and by the second decade of the seventeenth century, they had squeezed the English almost completely out of the Russian market. The Northern Dvina trade became a major line of Dutch business, involving the transit trade with interior Russia, the exchange of the products of the north and central Russian forestry and agriculture for gold and silver money and a wide range of military stores and luxury goods. In the 1560s, the Dutch developed commercial relations with the Murman coast, exchanging locally produced exports like cod, salmon, furs and train oil for locally used imports like woolen cloth, tinware, salt, pepper, and wine. In addition, from the early 1570s, the Dutch used Kola as an alternative to the Northern Dvina mouth as a port for the transit trade with interior Russia; but they did so only until about 1585, when the tsar directed all foreign trade of interior Russia to proceed via the newly founded port of Archangel on the Northern Dvina. After that, Kola only remained an international commercial port for the local economy of the Murman coast. The Dutch continued to trade with the Murman coast on a very small scale throughout the seventeenth century, but Archangel was by far their main commercial destination in the Barents Sea area.Key words: Northern Dvina, Archangel, Murman coast, Kola, Russian trade, Dutch trade, English trade, commercial relations ; Au XVIe et XVIIe siècle, les échanges de la côte Mourmane et ceux de la Dvina septentrionale représentaient deux branches distinctes du commerce européen occidental. Les échanges de la côte Mourmane faisaient intervenir le commerce avec l'économie régionale de la presqu'île de Kola, et ceux de la Dvina septentrionale coïncidaient avec le commerce de transit avec l'intérieur de la Russie. Dans les années 1550, les Anglais établirent des relations commerciales avec l'intérieur de la Russie via l'embouchure de la Dvina septentrionale, troquant surtout étoffes de laine et métaux contre des produits forestiers et agricoles du nord et du centre de la Russie. Durant les années 1570, les Hollandais firent de même, et, vers 1620, ils avaient presque complètement évincé les Anglais du marché russe. Les échanges de la Dvina septentrionale devinrent un important volet du monde des affaires hollandais, mettant en jeu le commerce de transit avec l'intérieur de la Russie, le troc des produits forestiers et agricoles du nord et du centre de la Russie contre de la monnaie en or et en argent, ainsi qu'une vaste gamme de fournitures militaires et d'articles de luxe. Dans les années 1560, les Hollandais établirent des relations commerciales avec la côte Mourmane, troquant des produits d'exportation locaux comme la morue, le saumon, les fourrures et l'huile de poisson contre des importations destinées à un usage local comme des étoffes de laine, de la ferblanterie, du sel, du poivre et du vin. En outre, dès le début des années 1570, les Hollandais se servirent de Kola comme alternative à l'embouchure de la Dvina en tant que port pour le commerce de transit avec l'intérieur de la Russie; mais cela ne dura que jusque vers 1585, lorsque le tsar décida que tout le commerce extérieur de l'intérieur de la Russie devait passer par le port d'Arkhangelsk que l'on venait de créer sur la Dvina septentrionale. Après quoi, Kola ne resta un port de commerce international que pour la côte Mourmane. Les Hollandais continuèrent de commercer avec la côte Mourmane à très petite échelle durant tout le XVIIe siècle, mais Arkhangelsk fut de loin leur plus importante destination commerciale dans la région de la mer de Barents.Mots clés: Dvina septentrionale, Arkhangelsk, côte Mourmane, Kola, commerce russe, commerce hollandais, commerce anglais, relations commerciales

Today without artificial intelligence no industries and other service firms can do nothing. It has become an indispensable part perhaps, another factor of production. India have great accessibility for young scientists, engineers, doctors, professionalists etc. Fewer are dedicated towards AI research field and innovation.
